CyberSecurity : so what?

How it affects you personally and @work...

Hopefully by the end of this series you'll understand:

  • why bother with security
  • why the IT dept. make you do the things they do
  • why it's probably already happened to you...

Word salad

When you hear "hacker"... what do you think of?

Reality Check

reality is a bit different

  • Hackers are sometimes a force for good, they improve your life.
Tesla - The Greatest Hacker of all Time Hackers love to tinker... they're like the 5 yr old who won't stop asking why... Hackers are patient, and persistent...
H.D. Moore
Mario Heiderich

Hardware hackers

The bad...

A bit closer to home....

No rest for the wicked...

Motivation

Why do (bad) hackers do what they do?

It's all about the money

A LOT of money...

1 gold coin = $1

Still.....

It would never happen to me... why me?!

  • hackers use your PC to mine bitcoin...
  • as a platform to attack others without getting caught
  • proxy for porno, a lot of porno (this happened a lot @ Vassallo Grp)
  • who you work for, or who your employer works for...
  • credit cards...

Has 6PM ever been hacked??

Yes :(

  • OTRS under constant attack
  • VoIP under constant attack
  • Sometimes successful...
  • Dave attacks them too...

Stay Tuned...

  • Wireless - its in the air man!
  • Web Apps - Cookies, Injections and Cross Dressing...
  • Social Engineering - YOU are the target!
  • What Antivirus?
